Awkward to hold with one hand or for phone use, low camera resolutions, too big for regular pockets, needs latest Android upgrade, no miniHDMI, OS may beg for upgrade as well, pricey for simple living !

If you’re looking for more in a tablet pulling double duty as a smart phone, you’re in for a treat with the Samsung P6800 Galaxy Tab 7.7. True to the Samsung innovative spirit, this unit features the 16M Color SUPER AMOLED Plus Full Touch display technology to deliver vividly expressive colors. In brilliant 1280 x 800 pixel on a 7.7" WXGA screen, the slim, light tablet performs impressively with superior hardware, blazing-fast connectivity, dynamic content and fully customizable interface.
Checking under the very sleek and chic exterior, the Android 3.2 Honeycomb OS with TOUCHWiZ v4.0 is powered by a 1.4GHz Dual Core Processor. As a tablet, this device performs extremely well. The screen resolution is incredibly clear even under harsh light, whether for viewing a movie or reading an e-book. A 1GB RAM with 16GB internal capacity that can be expanded with a USB dongle and microSDHC card of up to 32GB increases its functionality with just how much applications, music, movies and images it can carry. You can even edit on the fly with Adobe Photoshop Touch after using the nifty camera! Speaking of which, the P6800 sports a 3.0 Mega-pixel camera at the back and a 2.0 Mega-pixel Front Camera. With an LED Flash, different shooting modes and a variety of scene modes from landscape to candlelight, you have versatile photo options. A built-in photo editor also helps, along with effects settings, handy white balance function and Auto Focus. Not bad, but an exasperating nitpick would be that for all its SUPER ARMOLED glory, the cameras could stand to have higher resolutions!
With a powerful 5100mAh battery, it can give you up to 10 hours of non-stop video playback or up to 50 hours of talk time! Enhanced with a myriad of available applications to streamline your everyday life, the Samsung P6800 Galaxy Tab 7.7 is truly in the running to be the one device you need to replace all else. Especially if connectivity is your main concern, you wouldn’t want for full accessibility with Blutooth, 21Mbps HSDPA, 5.76Mbps HSUPA, EDGE, 3G and GPRS support.
Other features are social, gaming and music hubs that support a wide range of formats, hand-writing recognition (English, traditional and simplified Chinese), a virtual Qwerty keyboard, the Swype hyper speed English text input method and a variety of other applications from Adobe Flash Player to a video maker. Effective multi-tasking is also a welcome property of this unit as well as a pen memo function for people on the go. It may be a bit too large to be carried around in normal pockets or held comfortably in one hand, so it poses a conspicuous challenge especially if you need to make calls. However, with the speaker phone function, blue tooth or supplied headset, it handles calls well.
Over all, the Samsung P6800 Galaxy Tab 7.7 is an impressive all-in-one gadget to have. Not only does it serve telephony and messaging demands, but it also definitely holds its own as a good tablet.
